I believe that about repetitiveness. It’s just that I’m not in software or computers, so I haven’t been subject to them all.

Although I was a lawyer, and I can tell you that human beings come up with an infinite variety of ways to do weird things, which gives me hope that there may be a weird software story out there for you, that you’ve never heard. :)

I've been a dev for a very long time, and I still regularly hear weird software stories from colleagues that are not just "the same old thing" again. They're a pretty small percentage -- maybe 2-5%? -- but despite the low flow rate, the well never seems to actually empty.
